Lyrics
Time Slipping Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What becomes of a man on his own, fears he just can't hide
Knowing well that it's too late, before you really tried
You thought that times would heal the scars, but yours were much too deep
Years that passed were only used in dreams within your sleep
I know it, you know it
Time slipping, time keeps slipping
You know it, yeah I know it
I know that time keeps slipping away
Now who waits for a life to change, eyes that can not see
Trying to find the world outside, the best things are for free
Fight the past it's over now, relieve a wasted youth
Who knows what you'll find for sure, it must me bear the truth
All trought the darkness, I could see the light
While those around me seemed so blind
Now that I'm older, I can see it all
I can see the world you'll never find
Keep slipping away
